BETHLEHEM (Ma’an) -- Israeli settlers on Tuesday set up new mobile caravans, one of which is reportedly to be used as a school, in the illegal settlement of Brosh Habikat in the Tubas district of the northeastern occupied West Bank, according to official Palestinian Authority (PA)-owned Wafa news agency.

Wafa reported that Israeli settlers, who live illegally in the West Bank in contravention of international law, installed new housing units in the settlement.

One of the caravans will be allegedly be used as a school for about 30 settler students, Wafa added.

Between 500,000 and 600,000 Israelis live in Jewish-only settlements across occupied East Jerusalem and the West Bank in violation of international law, with recent announcements of settlement expansion provoking condemnation from the international community.
